Transcript of Star Trek: The Fantastic Sci-Fi

The MoviesFun Facts- The "Live Long and Prosper" hand gesture is actually a jewish sign.

- "To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before" was a line from a White House Pamphlet on space.

- The number 47 is used a lot in Star Trek. Don't ask, I don't know why.

- The actor who played Scotty, the Scottish engineer in TOS is actually Canadian.

- No one in Star Trek ever stated the words "Beam me up, Scotty".The CaptainsNo Star Trek would be the same without the Captains. The Captain of a starship gets to make all the big decisions, plan attacks with other captains and much more. There have been 6 main Captains in Star Trek:

Captain James T. Kirk (Prime Reality) of the Enterprise (NCC), Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise E, Captain Benjamin Sisko of the Deep Space 9, Captain Kathryn Janeway of the Voyager, and Captain Jonathon Archer of the Enterprise (NX), and most recently Captain James T. Kirk (Alternate Reality) of the Enterprise (NCC).

"The Captains" (2011) was also a documentary by William Shatner where he interviewed everyone who had been a captain inStar Trek.

Another very important character in Star Trek is...

Introduction5 different series, ranging from 3-7 seasons each, 12 Movies ( soon 13!), Video Games, the Alternate Reality and countless merchandise spread across the world: this is Star Trek. Let's find out why 500 million people around the world love the American Sci-Fi, in my project...The Alternate RealityIn 2009, J.J. Abrams, Director of Fringe and Star Wars VII put a new spin on the Star Trek franchise that changed EVERYTHING about Star Trek forever. In fact, the uproar he caused still hasn't calmed down. The idea was to create a remake of TOS, but J.J. Abrams came up with a new idea: time-traveling aliens come from the future and screw everything up. Bottom line? The original story got messed up so much, Star Trek (2009) became The Alternate Reality. Star Trek has never been the same since.

There have been more parallel universes in the TV series, but none greater than...The TV seriesGene Roddenberry createdthe idea for the originalStar Trek series (TOS) in1964, and it was later released in 1966, finishing in 1969. 21 years later, another series, The NextGeneration (TNG) came out, in a new time period with completely different characters. 3 more series came out, which were Voyager (VOY), Deep Space 9 (DS9) and the last one, Enterprise (ENT), which ended in 2005. There is some talk about remaking TOS, but J. J. Abrams, the new Star Trek director hasn't confirmed it. Also some of the first movies came out right after TOS, which brings us to the next big thing in the whole Star Trek franchise...

The Fantastic Sci-Fi10 years after the end of TOS, Star Trek: The Motion Picture hit the big screens in theaters. From 1979-2002, 9 more movies have come out. However, out of the 5 different series, only 2 have been made movies: TOS and TNG. There's no real reason why the other series don't have movies, but some people thinks it's because the other 3 weren't as popular. In any case, the movies definitely changed the Star Trek universe, but not as much as the next topic..."The Next Generation"No, not the series. Believe it or not, I'm talking about Racism. Star Trek was the first TV series to feature a main character who was black. Actress Nichelle Nichols began her career as Nyota Uhura in the episode "The Man Trap" as Communications Officer of the Enterprise. Whoopi Goldberg, an Afro-American who later played Guinan in Star Trek TNG, saysNichelle Nichols is her role model. Whoopirecalls telling her family: "I just saw a blackwoman on TV, and she ain't no maid!" Nichelleand Whoopi's stories go to show that Star Trekis against racism, which personally I think isreally cool!

My Dad.Photo Album TOSPhoto Album DS9Photo Album VOYPhoto Album ENTPhoto Album Alternate RealityTrailer for The CaptainsThe Mirror UniverseAside from The Alternate Reality, The Mirror Universe was unlike anything in Star Trek. Although it was only in the TV series, The Mirror Universe is one of the best known Star Trek references. In The Mirror Universe, everything is the opposite of what it's supposed to be. Starfleet, headquarters of The Federation, Doesn't exist. Instead there's a Terran Empire, where humans hate Vulcans, who are a species in Star Trek. And now to introduce you to some of the most important characters in Star Trek...The AliensThere have been lots of aliens in Star Trek; here are just a few:VulcansVulcans are arguably the most well known species in Star Trek: they have pointy ears, and their culture believes in hiding all emotion whatsoever.RomulansRomulans are ruthless fighters, and relatives of Vulcans. They are known best for creating the Alternate Reality when they traveled back in time and destroyed Vulcan.KlingonsKlingons were mortal enemies to the Federation, however they allied with the Federation and some even served onFederation ships.More AliensThe BorgThe Borg may very well have been the Federation's most dangerous threat. The way that The Borg work is they have implants in their bodies that come out through nanotubes. They inject the nanites (microscopic machines connected to the Borg consciousness) into your neck and slowly, you become a Borg and you are assimilated into the Borg Collective. The Borg Queen (above left) is the leader of the Borg. The Borg were fortunately defeated by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Data when they destroyed the Borg Queen in the movie First Contact. However, Picard hadbeen assimilated 6 years earlierand wanted revenge. TheDirector of the movie saysit was loosely based on Moby Dick.The Video GamesThere have been many Star Trekvideo games, but few betterthan Star Trek Online (STO). Inthe MMO RPG (massively multipl-ayer online role-playing game)you are captain of your ownstarship. You can choose to beHuman, Klingon, or Romulan. Youname your ship and give itthings such as weapons, newcrew members, and a paint job(there are some hot pink ships with unicorn stickers flying through the galaxy, it seems)."So don't let anyone ever dare tell you that nothing happened in Star Trek Online this past year. If someone does, it's a pretty good bet he hasn't played the game at all. Until next week, and next year, live long and prosper!" (review from http://massively.joystiq.com/)
